For those of you that just want to stop the rattling, but not necessarily remove or replace the subwoofer, I think you can just use a platic "rivet remover" tool to get the boot fabric open. At about the same level as the 2 lower nuts securing the seat back, should be a white plastic connector that can be disconnected from the sub-woofer. There is another "black box" down there also that is mounted horizontally on the driver's side. Don't disconnect anything from that box. This is simply a 2 conductor wiring harness that is held in place to the metal structure by a "snap-in" rivet affair.
Because I was taking the seat out, and I'm kind of large (260lbs), I elected to do this with the top down. At some point you will have to put the top back up to be able to work in the "boot" area.
